Update: The LBJ Foundation has noted that they are not the current owner of the vehicle. The text has been changed to reflect that clarification.

There are at least two Lincoln Continentals associated with the presidency of Lyndon B. Johnson. The more infamous of the two is the stretched 1961 Continental convertible–known as the “X-100”—that Johnson's predecessor John F. Kennedy was riding in when he was assassinated.

The other Continental, a white 1964 convertible, was one of Johnson's personal vehicles. He reportedly used the car when he visited his Texas ranch.

To see the car–or place a bid–you'll have to head to Dallas for the Nov. 16-18 show and auction. Adult tickets are $15, seniors pay $10 and children get in for $7. Head to Leake Auction Company for more information.
